Summary
The present study will investigate the effects of vitamin D supplementation alone or in combination with iron on bone metabolism and inflammation in women. The inclusion criteria will be simultaneous anemia and vitamin D deficiency. Subjects will be excluded if they have hematologic diseases. Ninety women (aged 18-40) will be randomly assigned to one of two treatments: 1000IU vitamin D plus 27mg elemental iron or 1000IU vitamin D plus placebo every day for 3 months. Blood samples will be collected at baseline and the end of the study and stored at -80 oC. They will be asked to complete a 3 days food record and physical activity questionnaire at the beginning, middle and end of the study. To assess the effect of intervention on anxiety and depression, the Beck Depression Inventory will be used. Blood pressure, body weight, and height will be measured, too. Blood venous samples will be taken after 12hr fasting. CBC, Ferritin, Serum iron, Transferrin, Ttransferrin saturation, OC, PTH, CTx, ALP, 25(OH)D, TIBC, and hsCRP will be assessed.
